A friends son was asked to shoot the pigeons on a farm, he called the firearms department (Warwickshire)and they said that was ok but stalking of deer was not

Extract from PMs lockdown release
Tennis, Fishing and unlimited exercise allowed from Wednesday - Government
People will be allowed to play tennis and go fishing from Wednesday as the Government eases lockdown restrictions to allow for unlimited outdoor exercise.
The Government's coronavirus recovery strategy said that from May 13, people will be allowed to exercise "as many times each day as they wish" with one other person from outside their household.
People will also be allowed to drive to parks and other open spaces "irrespective" of how far away they are located.
While recreational activities such as tennis and angling will be permitted, team sports will not be allowed "except with members of your own household", the strategy, which was published on Monday, said.
Playgrounds, outdoor gyms and "ticketed outdoor leisure venues" - where there is a higher risk of close contact - also remain off-limits under step one of the plans.
The reopening of such leisure facilities may only be "fully possible significantly later" depending on the reduction in infections, it added.
Tennis ... they often get closer than 2m and after wiping their sweating brow with their hand take hold of the tennis ball, a few seconds later the other payer may well hold that same ball ... Does not sound too good to me.

The bigger question is how do you play basketball whilst remaining 2m away from everyone else???.......
Are there that many people desperate to play basketball?.
